Christmas Cactus

My Christmas Cactus has just starting blooming, it is running a little behind. I took this shot laying down on the floor, looking up at the cactus. The flash was a little too bright, but I like how it made the background so dark, which caused the flower to look as if it were floating.

Canon PowerShot A95
1/60s f/2.8 at 7.8mm with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

it does make it look like it is suspended in air. Must be an Easter cactus this year. :)

Pretty color and it does look like it's floating. Very sharp macro. Don't worry. Soon you'll have irises to replace it. :)

Love the satin finish of the petals & the salmon shade.

At first glance I thought it was a coral. Very nice color, like it against the black.

It does seem to be floating. What a pretty, soft pink!

Very well done. It's a "late bloomer."

You are right, great job, Elaine.

The dark background really sets it off. Nice job.
